    1. Innoue - just fantastic . The win over Nakatani just solidifies it.

    2. Toney - has two outstanding wins over elite lefties - Nunn and Jirov. Needed a bit more depth but still...

    3. Mayweather Jr - went unbeaten vs southpaws.

    4. Arguello - had quite the record vs southpaws.

    5. Wlad ??

    Arguello, B-Hop and Tzysu came to mind immediately.

    Juan Manuel Marquez does very well with southpaws. His fights with Manny Pacquiao, Joel Casamayor, Jimrex Jaca, Terdsak Kokietgym

    Wlad is kinda ruined by what Sanders did to him but during his long reign he dealt with them very well.

    Kostya Tszyu also did very well against southpaws.

    Wilder deserves mention for what he did to Szpilka and Ortiz.

    How about that he lost almost every round in the three fights with Ortiz and Szplika?

    I would say RJJ deserves more of a mention than Wilder despite his losses to Tarver.

    B-Hop and RJJ are up there.

    They each had a whole long list of wins over southpaws before finally losing to them (Dawson for Hopkins, Tarver for Jones)
